Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh police have arrested a leading doctor and two others for allegedly murdering his partner in Nepal. Not only this, the accused has allegedly been found to have kept the victim's social media and chat accounts active for seven months in order to continue deceiving her family, police said.

According to a report in the news agency PTI, the accused were identified as DP Singh. Singh, along with his accomplices, was arrested on Friday from Daudpur. The victim was identified as Rajeshwari alias Rakhi Srivastava. The information was confirmed to the agency by the Special Task Force Inspector General (IG) Amitabh Yash.

Reportedly, Singh is the director of a hospital in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh and both his accomplices, Pramod Kumar Singh, and Deshdeepak Nishad were his employees. It became clear earlier this month that Singh and his accomplices had killed Rajeshwari in Nepal in June, Yash said.

The complaint was lodged under sections 366 (kidnapping), 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code. The accused allegedly went to Nepal on June 4 and returned on June 6 after killing Rajeshwari.

Meanwhile, on June 8, the woman's body was recovered by the Nepal police, he added.
